Unhappy Bumped the car when it snowed the other week

Bit late I know but i've just got the pics off my phone.
The car park in work was like an ice rink, the ice was at least 10mm thick!



I managed to slide into the Honda parked next to me which caused a bit of crumpling to my o/s rear arch and door
The collision speed was next to nothing, I had no control what so ever and just had to let the car go where it wanted. I even had time to roll the window down and watch as I came to rest against the civic.





Look at the damage i did to the Honda!


Hardly nothing, typical isn't it! It is also the company car, and they weren't really bothered when i told them. They just nudged the bumper back into place.


That's not the end of it though, when I came out of work I was faced with this little present:




Someone with a tow bar had reversed through my number plate, scratched the paint off my bumper and left a nice dent in my front mount! Never found out who it was either

Hoping to have it all sorted out by the end of the month, ready for the action day

So that was my day on the ice!

Gutted for you mate, just make sure you have'nt had a hole put in the FMIC, even a pin hole will cause pressure loss

It all looks good, just a bit dented. Haven't had any boost issues (yet), still gets to 1.3 easy enough!

Sorry to hear that mate, just one reason the scoob stayed in the garage during most of the bad weather, you just cant trust other drivers!
